penis runway show

It’s Fall/Winter 2015-2016 fashion runway season, darlings, and we’ve already seen plenty of interesting things at the menswear shows. For example, the world collectively gasped and covered their mouths at the sight of designer Rick Owens’ infamous “penis runway“ at Paris Men’s Fashion Week, and the return of “loose fits” in menswear at Gucci, Armani and Versace has people wondering if perfectly-fitted suits are O-U-T out.

(Sidebar: We really hope the loose fit thing doesn’t make a comeback. We had enough of that in the ’80s and ’90s, thankyouverymuch).

If you are in the “biz,” or really serious about keeping up with the shows, Modem magazine has a comprehensive fashion week agenda, lists of showrooms, tradeshows, multi-label showrooms and events.

We’re excited to see what else comes sauntering down the fashion runway, and we’re sure you are, too. Fortunately, there are plenty of days and weeks left to get our fix. For your delight, we have attached the best head-turning menswear fashion week looks from the streets of Milan. Ladies, be kind to your men, don’t expect them to look or dress like that. Enjoy!

PS. Do let us know if you plan to attend anything tweet us #stylishweek – we’ll find you! We’d love to see your pictures or hear your thoughts on anything related to the fashion week.

We kind of can’t help but roll our eyes at the “penis runway show” put on by designer Rick Owens at Paris Fashion Week. Yeah, yeah, we appreciate that it’s in the name of art and expressing yourself as an artist. Still, if you ask us, it all leans a little pretentious. Hollywood life sums it up well: “2014 may have been the year of the booty, but if designer Rick Owens has his way, 2015 will be the year of the peen.” Read more about the collection — and take a peek at the pics, if you dare — on the website.
